Abstract
An approach for optimizing a confidence score threshold that is used to recognize a target word(s) in an audio source. A variety of potential instances of the target word can be detected and classified using an initial confidence score threshold value. Each potential instance of the target word is audibly reviewed and validated by a user. After a determination of the correctness of each potential instance's classification, a different confidence score threshold value can be used to produce an updated set of classification results without requiring the user to revalidate the results. By using a variety of confidence score threshold values to produce various sets of classification results, an optimized confidence threshold setting can be determined for the identified target word based on minimizing errors in the various results. This value can then be applied for future analysis of the target word in an audio source.
